SKYFALL Kodaikanal

WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
Skyfall is one of the most spectacularly located homes in the Palani Hills, set on the edge of a mountain, hidden away from the bustle of downtown Kodaikanal. Enjoy wrap-around views of lush green mountains and the spellbinding Perumal Peak, with none of the speckled Kodaikanal development to hinder the picture. If you can pull yourself away from the scenery, then within, you will find an utterly charming holiday villa fully loaded with everything that makes for a perfect vacation in the hills. Make time for gazing at a star-filled sky or at the twinkling lights of the plains below.

Lower Floor
Off the foyer, a wooden staircase leads down to the lower level comprising the lower bedroom with its en-suite bathroom and large windows that frame the same beautiful views.

Lower Garden Level
The living room leads to its own covered sit-out and to a two level lawn - the lower lawn with the villa’s 3rd bedroom accessed from the garden and an upper large terraced lawn that is ideal for picnic lunches or bonfire dinners.
